Arizona Court: Embyros Are Not Persons

FOXNews.com - Politics - Arizona Court: Preserved Embyros Are Not Persons: "Because the terminology surrounding such issues is highly charged, the Court of Appeals said it tried to be neutral by using the term 'pre-embryo' to describe the days-old, lab-preserved fertilized eggs involved in the case. Calling such eggs 'embryos' could imply the egg is a 'person,' the ruling by a three-judge panel said."

How can making up a nonsense term be consididered "neutral"? Using the term "pre-embryo" is necessary to say that the embryo isn't yet a person (isn't yet even an embryo).
